Everyones circumstances are different, but if my kids have ever needed anything over the years, we have been there for them, dropping our plans etc.
My daughter is home for xmas and is looking into staying up here for up to 6 months so she can help her dad juggle the refurb of the bungalow and looking after me, we haven't asked her to but she won't hear of any argument against it, she is packing her very well paid job that she loves down south up and will hopefully get some supply work as and if it comes up.
All a question of give and take  |
Its really nice that your daughter is going to do that for you. Unfortunately, not everyone is in your daughters position. Many families, including my own, still have children at home. They have pets that may not be welcome at their parents house. They are in a relationship and have a mortgage that requires two full time salaries. They have an established business in a particular area and so on.
